This report responds to the growing
concern over issues facing Maldivian youth today, and
specifically, to a request made by the Ministry of Youth and
Sports to examine the status of youth in the Maldives. Such
concerns are certainly warranted, particularly in light of a
regional youth bulge which is taking place in South Asia, as
well as an observed increase in at risk behavior such as
youth drug use and membership in gangs. While a number of
studies have sought to examine youth issues in the Maldives,
a comprehensive and holistic assessment is lacking. This
report was aimed at helping to fill this knowledge gap.
This report examines issues affecting young people in the
Maldives as they transition from adolescence to adulthood,
and based on this analysis and a review of international
good practice, recommends a number of actions for the
Government s consideration. The analysis focused on youth
experiences as they pertain to: health, education, labor,
family structure, gangs and violence, and civic engagement
and participation. A youth development framework, based on
public health literature and adapted to the Maldives, serves
as the organizing structure of the report. The report draws
on original data collection and analysis, as well as an
extensive review of existing literature. With regard to data
collection, the study involved field-based research
including a household survey and in-depth interviews, and
focus-group discussions with youth and stakeholders in the Maldives. |
